 Revolution OS - Movie Commentary by Scott Ventura (FeedMyEgo.com)
Revolution OS is a documentary that provides a brief history of the Linux operating system and some of the key pioneers of open source software and free software.
As someone who uses open source operating systems and tools at both home and work, this is of great interest to me. Heck, this web site is hosted on a FreeBSD machine, and the pages are generated using gcc and perl.
Other than that, Revolution OS is scarcely boring, but it's not that exciting, either, even to somebody who uses lots of open source tools.

 NewsForge | Revolution OS movie review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
It's likely though, that Linux was never really understood by the financial world, overvalued in ?99, and undervalued in current days, the OS is slowly, and steadily gaining ground by virtue of its own merits.
Nonetheless, Revolution OS is a fun film for the Linux enthusiast, and well worth the visit for the historical primer it provides.
Finally the figureheads of the open source movement have a face to match their names in print.

 village voice > film > Revolution OS by Tricia Romano
Intent on lionizing computer luminaries and the movement itself (subjects continually gush over Stallman or Torvalds), Moore skirts wider issues like intellectual-property rights, and fails to explain what makes Linux and other nonproprietary software useful for anyone who's not a hardcore programmer.
While Revolution OS bills itself as a documentary about an insurgency, and opens with a funny account from wild-eyed programmer Eric Raymond gravely telling a Microsoft employee, "I'm your worst nightmare," the film never shows a true uprising against the Evil Empire.
In the end, Revolution OS is less a revolutionary tale than a simple recounting of the recent past—as staid as the pages in a history book.
